Do we really care about the zero return value of inet_select_addr()
here? What about the other calls to inet_select_addr()?

It won't return zero, typically it will return loopback's IP
(with preference to any non-loopback addresses assigned to
 the loopback device).  This is being used for source address
selection.

It will return zero if there is no in_dev at all.  Perhaps what
we should do is get inet_select_addr() to get the address from
other devices in that case as well?

Cheers,
